Excelsior Diary Columbian Edition 1893 The Art Palace, Columbian Exposition THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, To commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, will be held on the shore of Lake Michigan, in the City of Chicago, and will be opened on the first day of May, 1893, and closed on the 30th day of October following. Jackson Park and Midway Plaisance--the Exposition site -are in the southeastern part of Chicago, and embrace 666 acres, with a frontage of about a mile and a half on Lake Michigan. Forty-five miles of boulevard connect the site with the general park system, which embraces fifteen or more parks, aggregating 2,000 acres. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. The Administration Building is pronounced the gem and crown of the Exposition palaces. It is located at the west end of the great court in the southern part of the site looking eastward, and at its rear are the transportation facilities and depots. The most conspicuous object which will attract the gaze of visitors on reaching the grounds is the gilded dome of this lofty building. The imposing edifice will cost about $450,000. The architect is Richard M. Hunt, of New-York, President of the American Institute of Architects. It covers and area of 260 feet square , and consists of four pavilions 84 feet square, one at each of the four angles of the square, and connected by a great central dome 120 feet in diameter and 220 feet in height. THE MANUFACTURERS AND LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING. Notable for its symmetrical proportions, the Manufactures and Liberal arts Building is the mammoth structure of the Exposition. It measures 1,687 by 787 feet and covers nearly 31 acres, being the largest Exposition building ever constructed, and erected at a cost of $1,000,000. Within the building a gallery 50 feet wide extends around all four sides. MACHINERY BUILDING, of which Peabody & Stearns, of Boston, are the architects, has been pronounced by many architects second only to the Administration Building in the magnificence of its appearance. This building measures 850 by 500 feet, and, with Machinery Annex and power house, will cost about $1,200,000. It is located at the extreme south end of the park, midway between the shore of Lake Michigan and the west line of the park. It is just south of the Administration Building, and west, across a lagoon, from the Agriculture Building. ART BUILDING. It is the intention to locate on the Lake Front Park, near the heart of the city, the building required for Department "K," embracing Fine Arts, Pictorial, Plastic and Decorative, and also a portion of Department "L," at a cost of $500,000. Woman's Building, Columbian Exposition. THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING. Located near the Lake shore, south of the main lagoon and of the area reserved for the foreign nations and the several States, in the Government Exhibit Building. It is classic in style, and bears a string resemblance to the National Museum and other Government buildings at Washington. It covers an area of 350 by 420 feet, is constructed of iron, brick and glass, and cost $400,000. HORTICULTURAL BUILDING. The building is 1,000 feet long, with and extreme width of 286 feet. The plan is a central pavilion with two end pavilions, each connected to the center pavilion by front and rear curtains, forming two interior courts, each 88 by 270 feet. THE ELECTRICAL BUILDING. The Electrical Building, the seat of perhaps the most novel and brilliant exhibit in the whole Exposition, is 345 feet wide and 700 feet long, the major axis running north and south. The south front is on ther great Quadrangle or Court: the north front faces the lagoon; the east front is opposite the Manufactures Building and the west faces the Mines Building. THE HALL OF MINES AND MINING. Located between the Electricity and Transportation Building is the Mines and Mining Building. This building is 700 feet long and 350 feet wide. The galleries are 60 feet wide by 25 feet high from the ground floor, and are all lighted on the sides by large windows, and from above by a high clearstory. THE WOMEN'S BUILDING. The President of the Board of Lady Managers quickly discovered in the sketch submitted by Miss Sophia G, Hayden that harmony of grouping and gracefulness of details which indicate the architectural scholar, and to her was awarded the first prize of a thousand dollars, and also the execution of the design. The principal facade has an extreme length of 400 feet, the depth of the Building being half this distance. THE FISHERIES BUILDING. The Fisheries Building embraces a large central structure with two smaller polygonal buildings connected with it on each end by arcades. The extreme length of the building is 1,100 feet and the width 200 feet. THE FORESTRY BUILDING. The Forestry Building is in appearance the most unique of all the Exposition structures. Its dimensions are 200 by 500 feet. On all four sides of the building is a veranda, supporting the roof of which is a colonnade consisting of a series of columns composed of three tree-trunks each 25 feet in length, one of them from 16 to 20 inches in diameter and the others smaller. All of these trunks, are left in their natural state, with bark undisturbed. Wea. SUN. Jan. 1. 1893 Ther.

The City of Peking Safe Towed Within the Golden Gate Yesterday. Under Sail Seventeen Days There is Joy in Frisco at the Sight of the China Liner, Which Had Been Re-insured at a Premium of Forty Per Cent. [*1893*] Special dispatch to the Democrat and Chronicle. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 6. - The missing steamer, City of Peking, thirteen days overdue from Yokohoma, came in this afternoon in town of the special tugs Vigiland and Active. A broken shaft, as surmised, was the cause of the delay, and she has been seventeen days under sail, making her way slowly across the Pacific. The steamer San Juan, sent out only yesterday on a search expedition, passed her during the night, but early this morning the tug Vigiland forty miles out sighted the Peking, and soon had her in tow. As it was very rough just outside the Golden Gate, the steamer was not brought in until this afternoon. Then Telegraph Hill and the entire water front, was black with people who witnessed her arrival. Fully twenty thousand voices cheered when she came abreast of the city front. A visit to the vessel showed, as suspected, that the shaft was broken, and broken in the sleeve very near the propellor, in a position that could not be reached. The accident occurred at 7 o'clock on the morning on January 21st, when ten days out from Yokohoma. She at once proceeded to make this port under sail. It was impossible to repair the shaft and the propellor was nearly lost, hanging somewhat loosely behind, and acting as a drag. The entire distance, to within sight of port, was made under sail. The best days record was 119 miles, and she was seventeen days under sail. The northern course was taken, in the hope that she might meet the China, but no vessel was sighted until off this port. As a somewhat zigzag course had to be taken under sail the entire distance traversed was longer than that taken by a vessel under steam, being 1,340 miles. Everybody on board was well and the steamer looked as trim and neat as though nothing had happened. The Pacific mail officers cursed loud and deep over the hard luck that led the San Juan to miss the Peking. Spreckles, who is always fortunate in finding vessels, will clean up a large amount of salvage. Wea. Mon.
